"Navigating the Battlefield of the Civilian Job Market: Understanding the Roadblocks Veterans Face"

 In the grand tapestry of our nation's history, few threads are as vibrant and solemn as the recognition of our military service members.

"Honoring the Sacrifices: The Deep Significance of Veterans Day" is more than a mere commemoration; it's a journey through the heart of what it means to stand in the ranks of those who've served. As we delve into the essence of military service recognition, we not only honor military veterans but also shed light on the profound impact of their sacrifices on our daily lives.

 For many, Veterans Day might appear as a fleeting moment on the calendar, marked by parades and speeches. However, its significance runs deeper, resonating through every fabric of our society. This blog post aims to unravel the layers of this importance, addressing the primary question: why do we dedicate a day to our veterans, and how does this recognition shape our collective consciousness? By exploring this topic, we aim to heighten Veteran Affairs awareness, offering insights into the unique experiences of our heroes in uniform and the enduring legacy they leave behind.

The Unique Skill Set of Veterans

The military instills unmatched leadership qualities and discipline. These skills are incredibly beneficial in any job setting, though often undervalued in the civilian workforce. Veterans are trained to adapt quickly to changing situations—a skill highly relevant in today's fast-paced business world. Their experience in teamwork and collaborative problem-solving is also a significant asset.

 Roadblocks in Civilian Job Market Entry

 One of the biggest challenges veterans face is translating their military skills to civilian job requirements. The unique military jargon and roles can create barriers in effectively communicating their competencies.

The shift from military to civilian life encompasses more than just a job change. It involves adapting to a new culture and social environment, which can be daunting for many veterans.

 Bridging the Military-Civilian Divide

Sgt. Roy is an Army combat veteran with an impressive 36-year tenure, marked by unwavering dedication to duty and a deep commitment to service. Having transitioned from the battlefield, he has now turned his formidable expertise towards a new mission - imparting the essential principles of Intentional Leadership to the next generation of leaders. His passion lies in shaping young minds who will undoubtedly leave a lasting impact on our world, armed with the values and skills he's honed through years of military experience.

Interview Introduction for Linda Gross' Conversation with Daniel Kilburn

In a world overwhelmed by uncertainty, the pursuit of security—both physical and financial—becomes the cornerstone of a resilient life. Today, we have a special guest who’s on a mission to equip families and businesses with the tools they need to brave life's unpredictabilities. We're talking about the very essence of survival, so grab your notepads; this is a conversation you can’t afford to miss!

Daniel Kilburn is not just any life coach or author; he's a retired U.S. Army Senior Infantry Drill Sergeant who's transformed years of frontline experience into a toolbox for everyday resilience. With expertise spanning disaster management, leadership, financial planning, and communications, Daniel is redefining what it means to be prepared.

His philosophy is both pragmatic and relatable: Whether you’re facing a hurricane or financial turbulence, the basic requirements for survival remain consistent—a roof over your head, food to eat, clean water, and yes, even proper sanitation. But here's where Daniel takes it a step further; he introduces the idea of "cost-effective preparedness." It's not about stacking 25-year shelf-life meals in your garage; it's about smart choices—choices that integrate seamlessly into your daily life and budget.

And don't underestimate the financial aspects of preparedness; Daniel revealed startling data indicating that 70% of Americans are financially unstable. It's not just about having an emergency stash of goods; it's about having an emergency stash of "cash," a financial cushion that could save you when the chips are down.

As we delve into today’s conversation, remember that Daniel Kilburn isn't merely offering advice; he's providing a blueprint for resilience. Prepare to explore innovative, budget-friendly strategies for disaster management, learn about maintaining a financial emergency fund, and above all, get ready to change the way you approach the very concept of preparedness.

This isn't just an interview; it's a survival guide for the modern world.

So, without further ado, let’s welcome Daniel Kilburn. Prepare to embark on a transformative journey that blends the wisdom of experience with the practicality of everyday living. Trust us, by the end of this conversation, you’ll not only feel more secure but also empowered to face life's inevitable challenges.

I Challenge You:

In a fast-paced world, where time seems to slip through our fingers like sand, there is one day that challenges us to pause for just ten seconds and make a difference in a child's life. National Be Someone Day, observed annually on July 21st, urges each of us to take a moment, a mere ten seconds, to be the person who can change a child's life for the better. On this day, we are presented with a unique opportunity to create a positive impact and foster a brighter future for our youth.

Make a Difference:

 You might wonder, what can be done in just ten seconds? The truth is, much more than you might expect. Within that brief moment, we can shift gears, water a plant, hear or tell a joke, and even change our minds. Ten seconds is all it takes for us to notice the pain in someone's eyes and begin to offer them comfort and support. In those fleeting seconds, we can praise and honor those who deserve recognition, or make a life-altering decision.

 Protect and Support:

 The essence of National Be Someone Day lies in its mission to protect and support children by combating child abuse. Taking the pledge to report child abuse on this day is the key to safeguarding children's well-being.

By following these steps and taking the pledge to report child abuse, we become part of a powerful movement to end child abuse and create a better, safer world for our children.

 Be an Angel:

 National Be Someone Day is not just about reporting child abuse; it's about becoming the guardian angel every child needs. By taking the initiative to protect the innocent and vulnerable, we are embracing our responsibility as caring individuals. Imagine the impact of a collective effort, with each person committed to safeguarding children's well-being. The advantage is not just in making a difference in one child's life, but in shaping a society where children are cherished, protected, and nurtured to reach their fullest potential.

 Act:

"Fire Safety with Blaze: Preventing Fires and Saving the Day!"

"Hey there, heroes! It's Blaze, the fearless Firefighter Extraordinaire, ready to tackle any blaze and keep everyone safe. I'm part of the Safety Squad, always on the lookout for fire hazards and using my expertise to prevent fires from starting. With my firefighting techniques and fire prevention skills, I provide fire safety and prevention.

Imagine sliding down the slide at the Axle City Garage with me, Dr. Lifesaver, Rescue Ranger, my pal Embers and the gang. We're all having a blast and doing cool tricks. We're not just adventurers, we're safety enthusiasts too!

As the Firefighter Extraordinaire, it is my job to make sure everyone is safe on 4th of July. Fireworks are fun but can be dangerous. In 2022, 11,500 people got hurt and nine people died from fireworks in the US [1]. Most injuries were to hands, fingers, head, face, ears, legs, eyes and arms [3]. We can stay safe if we follow the safety rules.

Firework Safety:

 1. The best way to enjoy fireworks is to go to a show put on by experts. They know what they are doing so it will be safe.

2. Make sure that fireworks are legal where you are before using them. Check the laws in your area first so you don't get in trouble.

3. Don't let kids use or light fireworks, including sparklers - even sparklers can get too hot and hurt someone! An adult should always be watching when kids use sparklers.

Light fireworks one at a time and stay back. After you light them, move away quickly. Don't try to relight any fireworks that don't work - put them in water and throw them away. Soak used fireworks in water before throwing them away so they won't start fires. Have water nearby in case of accidents or fires. Do not use fireworks when drunk or on drugs because it is unsafe.

Instead of using fireworks, try other things to celebrate. Some ideas are glow sticks, confetti poppers, or colored streamers. These are safer and can be used even if fireworks aren't allowed in your area.

Keeping Pets Safe:

Fireworks can make pets feel scared. To keep them safe, keep them inside during firework shows. Close the windows and curtains and turn on the TV or radio to help cover up the noise. Give your pet toys and treats to help them stay calm.

My time is up and I do need to go:

 The 4th of July is a time for being together and having fun. Fireworks are part of this celebration. But we need to be safe. We must follow the safety rules so that no one gets hurt. Let's have a great time, celebrate the holiday responsibly, and look out for each other too!

I look forward to introducing you to Stormy and the Safety Squad.

Till next time. Stay Informed and Stay Safe.

"Indulge in Pure Bliss: The Allure and Temptation of Chocolate Fudge"

 Hey there, fellow fudge lovers! As a confectionery chef extraordinaire, I can tell you firsthand that fudge is one of the most amazing indulgencesout there. This creamy, decadent treat brings joy to people of all ages with its rich texture and mouthwatering combination of flavors. So, what makes fudge so special? Let's break it down.

 First of all, fudge is a truly sensory experience. The way it melts in your mouth and the flavors burst with every bite is pure magic. You'll fall in love with fudge's creamy texture, made with butter, sugar, and milk. From classic chocolate to creative blends of ingredients like vanilla and caramel, there's a fudge flavor for everyone.

 But wait, there's more! Did you know that fudge comes with health benefits, too? While it's definitely not a health food, dark chocolate (which is often used in fudge recipes) contains antioxidants that can help reduce the risk of cardiovascular problems. In fact, dark chocolate has been linked to benefits like lowering cholesterol levels and preventing cognitive decline, so it's really a win-win [1].

 Now, let's talk nutrition. Fudge is high in carbs and calories, but it does have a relatively low glycemic index, which means it won't cause a blood sugar spike. Plus, it contains minerals like calcium, iron, magnesium, and copper [2]. However, don't go thinking it's a health food - fudge should definitely be enjoyed in moderation as a treat, not a meal replacement.

 When it comes to enjoying fudge, the key is portion control. It's calorie-dense, so be mindful of how much you eat. But don't feel guilty about treating yourself to a small piece every so often - life is short, and fudge is delicious!

 In conclusion, fudge is an amazing indulgence with a sensory experience that's hard to beat. You can feel good about enjoying it in moderation, knowing it contains some potential health benefits and a few essential minerals. So go ahead, take a bite of that luscious fudge and enjoy the moment of pure bliss it brings!

“Commemorating the US Army Birthday and National Flag Day"

Introduction:

 June 14th holds special significance for Americans as it marks the dual celebration of the US Army Birthday and National Flag Day. These two occasions intertwine the threads of history, valor, and patriotism that are deeply woven into the fabric of the United States. As we commemorate these milestones, it is important to reflect on the enduring legacy of the US Army and the symbolism behind our nation's flag.

The Birth of the US Army:

 The Second Continental Congress established the Continental Army on June 14, 1775, giving rise to what would later become the United States Army. A journey that would determine the course of a country began with the appointment of General George Washington as the commander in chief. The Continental Army faced many difficulties during the Revolutionary War, but it was crucial to securing America's independence [1].

The US Army's Role in History:

 Throughout history, the US Army has consistently stood up for freedom and upheld American values both domestically and abroad. The brave men and women of the Army have shown unwavering dedication, courage, and sacrifice in service to their country throughout the Civil War, World War II, Cold War and War on Terror [1].

National Flag Day and the Stars and Stripes:

 The US Army Birthday falls on June 14th, which is National Flag Day. The Stars and Stripes were adopted as the country's official flag in 1777, and this day honors that day. The pattern of the flag, depicts the original thirteen colonies with 13 alternating red and white stripes and a blue field with white stars representing the states, has come to represent American unity, tenacity, and freedom for all time [2].

The Significance of the National Flag:

 For Americans, the national flag is extremely important because it inspires pride and patriotism. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by countless people throughout history to uphold and defend the values and ideals on which the country was founded. [3].

The US Army and the National Flag:

 The principles of liberty and justice are deeply embraced by both the US Army and the national flag. In every significant conflict, soldiers have fought for the flag, upholding its values and defending the interests of the country [3]. The flag has always been a constant companion for Army soldiers, providing them with motivation, cohesion, and resolve, whether they are firmly planted on foreign soil or draped over the caskets of fallen heroes.

Conclusion:

 Finally, the US Army Birthday and National Flag Day offer a chance to reflect on the country's rich history and unwavering patriotism. It's critical to keep in mind the countless men and women who proudly served in the US Army and gave their all for their country as we remember these occasions. [1][2].

What's more, the national flag is a potent representation of freedom, resilience, and unity. It stands for America's steadfast spirit and the historical sacrifices made to uphold the values that gave rise to the country [3]. Soldiers fight under the flag in every significant conflict and uphold the values it stands for, demonstrating their deep commitment to the principles of liberty and justice.

National Love Your Children Day is a special day to remind us of the love and care we owe to our little ones. As parents or caregivers, our primary responsibility is to keep them safe and secure, especially in emergencies and disasters. The thought of our children being in danger can be overwhelming and frightening, but we can take steps to ensure their safety. We must ensure that our homes have emergency supplies, such as first aid kits, flashlights, and emergency food and water.

We should also teach our children about emergency preparedness so they know what to do in an emergency. In case of a disaster, it is important to have a plan and practice it with our children so they know what to do in case we are not there to direct them. Let us take a moment to appreciate our children and do everything we can to keep them safe and healthy.

National Love Our Children Day, on the first Saturday in April, focuses on raising awareness of child abuse during National Child Abuse Prevention Month.

 Many may think about physical violence or neglect when it comes to child abuse. Still, it can also come from parental apathy, complacency, ignorance, and failure to act. Essentially, not doing anything can actually harm a child. This can mean not giving enough attention or care to a child's needs, not knowing the right way to raise a child, or even being unprepared for emergencies or seeking medical help for a sick child. These actions, or lack thereof, can have serious long-term consequences on a child's development and well-being. So, for parents, it's important to be aware of your actions and take responsibility for ensuring your child's safety, health, and welfare- even if that means stepping out of your comfort zone sometimes.

Today, let’s celebrate the love and affection we have for our children and to reaffirm our commitment to their well-being. While we should love and cherish our children daily, this day reminds us of the importance of prioritizing our children's safety and happiness.

As parents or caregivers, we are responsible for protecting our children from emergencies and disasters. We can't always control what happens in the world, but we can take steps to ensure that our children are safe and secure and they are prepared to act when we are not there to act for them. Here are a few tips on how to prepare for emergencies and disasters and keep your children safe:

It's important to have a plan in place for emergencies. This includes having an emergency kit with essential items like food, water, medication, and first aid supplies. It's also important to have a plan for evacuating your home or seeking shelter in case of a natural disaster.

Keeping current on news and weather alerts can help you stay ahead of potential emergencies. Make sure you have access to reliable sources of information, and don't be afraid to ask for help or advice when you need it.

It's a good idea to practice safety drills with your children so they know what to do in case of an emergency. This includes fire drills, earthquake drills, and tornado drills.

Educating your children about safety is an ongoing process. Teach them to stay safe in different situations, such as crossing the street or riding a bike. Encourage them to speak up if they feel uncomfortable or unsafe.

Being a parent or caregiver can be stressful, and it's important to take care of your own mental health. This includes getting enough sleep, eating well, and coping with stress.

In conclusion, as we celebrate National Love Your Children Day, remember the importance of keeping our children safe and secure. Let us take responsibility for their well-being and prepare for emergencies and disasters. By doing so, we can ensure that our children grow up healthy, happy, and confident in knowing they are loved and protected.

Till next time

Do you find yourself feeling distracted, depressed, or disconnected? If so, you're not alone. In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle and forget to take care of ourselves. We are constantly bombarded with external stimuli, and our brains work overtime to process it. This can lead to feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, and depression. But there is hope! By understanding the science behind our emotions and learning some simple self-care techniques, we can start to feel more balanced and empowered. So let's get started!

Fortunately, there are several steps you can take to help overcome these struggles and reconnect with yourself and your surroundings:

1. Unplug & Reconnect With Nature - Taking time away from technology is one way to help break free from the distractions that come with it. Going outside for a walk or just sitting in nature can give you much-needed perspective on life and help you find a sense of calm.

2. Take Time for Self-Care - Taking care of yourself is an important step in staying connected with your own needs and feelings. Make sure to take time each day to do something that makes you feel good, whether it’s taking a hot bath, reading a book, or simply going for a walk

3. Find Your Passion - Finding something you are passionate about can be the key to feeling connected with your life. Pursuing activities or hobbies that bring joy will motivate you to stay focused on your goals and dreams rather than succumbing to distractions.

4. Reach Out For Help - If you struggle with feelings of depression and disconnection, don’t hesitate to reach out for help. Whether it’s talking to a family member or friend, seeing a therapist, or joining a support group, plenty of resources can help you through this difficult time.

No matter how disconnected you may feel right now, know that it is possible to overcome these struggles and reconnect with yourself and your surroundings. Taking the steps listed above can help give you the strength and motivation needed to find your way back. Good luck!

In conclusion, the dangers of social media addiction are real. While there are many underlying components that contribute to mental health disorders, addiction to social media can be an active contributing factor. The best way to break the cycle is by setting limits on screen time and learning how to interact with content in a healthier and more meaningful way.

Moreover, face-to-face interaction and human connection cannot be replaced. True fulfillment comes from providing ourselves with real moments where we are present in the moment and not just observing it through our digital lenses. So set realistic goals for yourself, practice mindfulness, find healthy outlets for stress relief, such as yoga or reading a book instead of mindlessly scrolling on your phone, and surround yourself with people who bring out the best version of you. As long as you focus on being mindful and empowering yourself with self-worth, true happiness will follow soon after.

So if you’re looking for ways to unplug, stay present in the moment, and enjoy life offline, register for our Digital Distraction Workshop now! With me here by your side, you can take back control of your life!

Today, Turkey experienced two devastating earthquakes, with reports of widespread damage and multiple casualties. This tragedy serves as a reminder of the importance of being prepared for earthquakes.

Earthquakes are one of the most unpredictable and destructive natural disasters, striking without warning and causing massive destruction in their wake. To minimize the impact of an earthquake, individuals, families, and communities must take steps to prepare for this type of disaster.

Preparation is key when it comes to earthquakes. It is important to have a plan in place in case of an earthquake, including knowing what to do during and after an earthquake. This can include developing an emergency plan, preparing an emergency kit, and knowing how to evacuate buildings and seek shelter safely.

One of the most important steps in preparing for an earthquake is to secure heavy furniture and appliances, such as bookcases and televisions, to prevent them from falling during an earthquake. This can also include securing your home by installing seismic straps and earthquake valves on gas lines.

Additionally, individuals should also educate themselves about the types of earthquakes that are most likely to occur in their area and understand the potential dangers of aftershocks. This knowledge can help individuals make informed decisions about the best ways to protect themselves and their families during and after an earthquake.

Did you know there are four distinct categories of earthquakes? Tectonic quakes shake the earth's crust due to geological forces. Volcanic temblors occur in connection with volcanic activity, while collapse quakes take place underground during mining operations or cave-ins. Finally, explosion earthquakes come from nuclear and/or chemical explosions!

National Parents Leadership Month

National Parents Leadership Month is a time to recognize and celebrate parents' vital role in shaping their children's and their communities' futures. Observed annually in February, this month is an opportunity for parents to reflect on their leadership skills and engage in activities that help them become better leaders in their families and communities.

Parent Leadership

One of the key ways that parents can become better leaders is by staying informed about the latest developments in education and child development. This includes staying up-to-date with the latest research and best practices in parenting and engaging in ongoing professional development opportunities.

Opportunities

In addition to individual efforts, National Parents Leadership Month also provides an opportunity for communities to come together and support one another in their efforts to become better leaders. This can include hosting parent-teacher association meetings, organizing community service projects, and engaging in other collaborative efforts that promote positive outcomes for families and communities.

Lead By Example

Parents lead by example. There are dozens of parenting handbooks available, but our children are not an IKEA bookcase to be filled with someone else’s ideas. Our children learn by the example set by their peers and approved by their parents. Often, this is a co-dependent relationship that can be positive or negative. Seeking help with parenting is a common and normal step for many parents. It is important to recognize that parenting can be challenging, and seeking support is a sign of strength and a commitment to providing the best possible care for one's children.

Stay Informed and Stay Safe

Davos Switzerland, 2023 World Economic Forum (WEF) is declaring a worldwide catastrophic event within the next two years.

Worldwide catastrophic event

Hey there! Daniel here with some news on emergency action planning. It looks like this past week had winter storms that were rough in the Northeast but starting to slow down out West - we can expect these kinds of things during winter, right? There's a story coming from Davos about an ominous declaration made at the World Economic Forum. Apparently, they think something catastrophic is going to happen soon... could be within just two years or so! It sounds alarming and I'm sure everyone will keep their eyes peeled for updates.

ypocrites, is the world full of them?

So  what is a hypocrite? Hypocrites are easy to spot. They’re the ones who  set their eyes on one thing, only looking away when it comes time for  them to judge you – or someone else! These people have got some double  standard going that’s just confusing as all get out because there isn’t  any logic behind what they do.

Now in some ways, this is natural. We all  apply different standards to different people based on our upbringing,  education, financial status, or whatever we want to call it. Sometimes  is right, and sometimes wrong.

I am pondering this concept because of  several conversations I have had recently. As you know, my vision is to  protect our children from the emergencies and disasters that will come  into their lives. My mission is to prepare the family so they can  protect themselves.

For the  longest time, FEMA has been conducting the National Household  Survey on  Disaster Preparedness. And for many years, it has hovered between 30 to  40% of the population who has done anything to prepare themselves and  their family for emergencies.

The  2022 national household survey states that of the respondents, 45% of  the adults are prepared for disaster. This is a self-assessed  questionnaire. Generally speaking, this means that we are better  prepared than we were last year and better prepared than we were the  year before.

One thing I  find very interesting here is that of the people I have personally  surveyed, that number is much lower. And looking at the actual data in  the survey demonstrates that the vast majority of respondents have a  plan (41%) but have done very little to actualize the plan.

We all face challenges, both external and internal. But the truth is - at our core, most of these obstacles are created by ourselves in one way or another! Could it be that you're scared of risking failure? Or feeling like you aren't worth achieving your goals? It's time to be honest about what might be standing between you and success. Once identified, those barriers can start to crumble away... giving us space for a brighter future ahead!

Multitasking

Multitasking might seem like a great way to get thing’s done quickly, but it's not really feasible. The human brain just isn't made for multitasking and trying to do two or more complex tasks at once is going to result in lost productivity - so stick with one task per go! That said, focusing on completing the single thing you're doing can help you finish faster overall.

Distractions

From cats begging for cuddles, to notifications blowing up your phone and even just dealing with the perfect temperature of your workspace - distractions can be everywhere! But don't fret; a little planning ahead is all it takes to keep those obstacle from distracting you on the path towards success.

Instant Gratification

Instant gratification may be tempting, but it's rarely the best choice. Taking time to put in consistent effort can lead to drastic improvements down the line - a perfect example of this being something as simple as walking regularly. It won't seem like anything now, but that discipline over 10 or 20 years could have tremendous benefits for your health!

Negative Thoughts and Impulses

It's easy to become overwhelmed with negative thoughts and impulses that can lead us down a path of bad decisions. The best way to combat this situation is by finding out if any unresolved trauma or contradicting beliefs may be lurking in the shadows, stopping you from moving forward positively.

Temptation and Excuses

We all know how it goes - you have the best of intentions and then temptation strikes, irresistible. Before you know it, excuses are around every corner to keep you from achieving your goals! Staying disciplined is a challenge but if we can learn to avoid temptations altogether instead of just relying on willpower alone that will surely help us succeed.

Lack of Control

It's impossible to have absolute control over our lives, but we do have complete power when it comes to how respond. Learning how cope with situations outside of your control is key; take a deep breath and focus on what you can manage - yourself!

To identify and conquer the obstacles that stand in our way, it's important to set realistic goals and craft an action plan accordingly. Believing we can make progress despite what life throws at us is half the battle; then showing up consistently with enthusiasm carries us closer toward success every day!

Friday Findings Winter Storm Preparations

Before winter approaches, make sure you have made preparations:

Winter storms can be dangerous; storms in December have already proved this. Winter is just getting started, and January storms are on the way. So it's essential to prepare in advance.

Consider warm clothing and layers to help protect you from cold temperatures and potential frostbite, and have enough clothing, hats, mittens, and blankets or sleeping bags for everyone in the house.

Have alternative heating sources like a fireplace, wood-burning stove, or space heater. Use caution, as these can cause carbon monoxide poisoning if misused; remember to ventilate.

Stock up on drinking water and non-perishable food items that don't need to be cooked and ensure water pipes are insulated in case of a power outage.

Have flashlights and a battery-powered radio ready for any power outages, and make sure your cell phones are charged or invest in battery-operated chargers.

Finally, plan out warm places, such as friends' homes and community shelters, where you can stay warm if needed.

Stay off the roads unless absolutely necessary. Build an emergency supply kit for your car: first aid kit, jumper cables, full tank of gas, cell phone, and cell phone charger, shovel, ice scraper, snow brush, sand/cat litter, warm clothing & blanket, water and snacks, tire chains, tow rope, and flares.

It's clear that having a balanced schedule is the key to achieving greater success without sacrificing your well-being. When you make sure all areas of life are accounted for in your scheduling, it can bring about numerous advantages such as increased efficiency and productivity with time management, lowered stress levels due to not being overwhelmed by an overflowing timetable, more freedom apart from work commitments which allows one to truly enjoy their life, better concentration when regularly taking breaks during tasks at hand and prevention of burnout caused by overworking oneself or taking on too much workload concurrently.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and can't keep up with life's demands, it's time to take a step back. Examining your current schedule is the key to achieving harmony between work, family, friends, and personal well-being - so make sure each area gets adequate attention! When balance is achieved in this way, leaving enough room for all of these vital parts of life, including self-care too! you'll find that happiness & productivity follows more naturally.

To achieve life balance and be your most productive, it’s important to create a weekly schedule. This will help you see where adjustments need to be made in order for all areas of your life – work, family, friends etc - to receive ample attention. When properly managed this can lead towards optimal productivity as well as increased happiness in regards with the different aspects that make up our lives.

Utilizing your 24 hours wisely will provide you with a balanced lifestyle. Give priority to the most critical aspects of life such as work and family, and round out free time with other activities that bring enrichment and joy. Mindful planning keeps burnout at bay, allowing for satisfaction across all areas of your life – creating harmony between yourself, friends & family! Review your schedule regularly in light of these needs; adjust accordingly so that each day is one full motivation-filled success!

Till next time, Be safe.

P.S. Many things are competing for attention these days. Therefore, taking control of your schedule and making time for the things most important to you is essential. Otherwise, you'll end up letting other people and things dictate how you spend your time, and that can be frustrating and even stressful.

This Free 10 SMART Ways workshop and eBook will teach you tactics you can copy and use now. Get More Done, Focus Better, Relieve Stress & Avoid Burnout.

To bring valuable information to you. I have come across a documentary, "Died Suddenly," which is a deeply disturbing film about the intentional depopulation of the world using COVID-19 vaccines. I highly suggest that you take the time to watch it.

*** Warning***

This documentary is not suitable for children.

Emergency Action Planning is presenting this documentary for your entertainment and information.

A shocking new documentary, "Died Suddenly," paints a chilling picture of our global future. It seems the Globalists are orchestrating what could be the greatest die-off in all recorded history! This disturbing information implies that politicians, media corporations, and fear-mongers have been complicit in depopulating humanity for their own gain. Even more disheartening to consider? Evidence suggests authorities knew about climate change fifty years ago but did nothing then - or now – to stop its potentially catastrophic effects on us all. I suggest you take some time out of your day and watch this alarming film ASAP.

Leadership is a contact sport. Being vulnerable is one of the ways to win.

If you've ever been at the front of a team effort or leadership position, you know it takes strength and courage to step up and take responsibility. At the same time, though, having a successful leader also means being comfortable with vulnerability. All leaders need to open themselves up and be vulnerable if they want their teams to trust them – something which may not always come naturally. In this blog post, we'll discuss why effective leaders must embrace vulnerability as part of their leadership mindset. Understanding how important it is for both yourself and your team that you expose some vulnerabilities while still staying confident enough in yourself to lead can make all the difference between success and failure!

As a leader, we often carry the burden of perfection. For decades, in my distinguished service as a Combat Infantryman, US Army Senior Drill Sergeant, and Instructor at the Non-Commissioned Officers Academy, this meant shouldering insurmountable responsibility and admitting to needing support was not an option. But in our current climate of economic hardship brought on by COVID-19, true leadership must include understanding that even leaders need help from peers and professionals if needed - be sure it's coming from trustworthy sources! We cannot afford for any further costs to pay for being too proud or trying to go at it alone.

The last two years of COVID have taken a toll on the world economically, socially, and emotionally. Moving forward into 2023, as true leaders in family, business, or the public sector, we must recognize our need for support. Reach out to your peers, family, and friends. If needed, find professional support. Sadly, we must also be cautious with whom we are vulnerable because it may harm us.

This video from Simon Sinek came across my Linkedin feed, which prompted me to create this post. There is value in it. I highly recommend that you watch it. If you don’t believe what I say, you might believe Simon Sinek.

Do not overthink it. Remember to put your masks on first.

The holidays are on us like a 10-year-old riding a sled on a snowy day.

Winter is a time for fireside gatherings, warm drinks, and cozy candles.

Candles have come a long way since their initial use as a source of light. While they are no longer used as a major light source, they continue to grow in popularity and use. Today, candles serve many purposes beyond just lighting up a room. They can be used to symbolize a celebration, ignite romance, soothe the senses, honor a ceremony, and accent home decor.  Their warm and lovely glow is something that all can enjoy.

Our friends at business insider have decided to launch an article to train the simulated effects of nuclear attacks against specific cities in the continental United States.

I’m curious to understand what business insider a global technology, finance, market, media, and healthcare publication is reporting the effects of possible nuclear attacks against major metropolitan US cities and how it promotes their image. I will note that this article is an updated article from 2019.

Last month Marni the Wing Girl invited me to the Ask Women Podcast.

Marni Kinrys has dedicated herself to helping men become confident when interacting with women with her Wing Girl Method.

Being able to get on her Ask Women Podcast did not start out by trying to get on her Podcast, no.

This adventure started with my asking her to come on to my Leaders Communicate Clearly virtual summit.

As the consummate communications expert in the dating and relationship field, I knew she would have nuggets of wisdom to share with the audience.

And her answer was, No. 

But she did ask me to be on her Ask Women Podcast.

Yes!

We dive deep into the concepts of Leadership, Congruence, and Vulnerability.

Three valuable tools are needed to be successful in healthy relationships and can be used in any venue of your life.
